Hard cover, 12mo (measuring 4 1/2 x 7 inches) in silver paper-covered boards, with applied cream label to front board in blue and black ink. 35pp. plus notes, on cream parchment, bottom edge untrimmed. Limited Edition of 200 given as a Christmas token. Washington Irving's classic short story of "The Christmas Dinner "was originally included in The Sketchbook of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. (1820), and was responsible for popularizing some of the English traditions of the yuletide season to a new American audience. The publisher of this charming item, Enschhedé en Zonen of Haarlem, The Netherlands, was a printing firm, and type foundry, responsible for the Netherlandish currency, certificates and stamps over the course of their history from the eighteenth century to the present. They also designed type matrices, and the typography and design in this item is very nice. Condition Very Good. Some rubbing to head and tail of spine, corner wear. Light foxing to prelims only. A worthy stocking stuffer!
